- CEO's are paid for their judgement
- CEO's have huge leverage in their decisions (e.g./ Labor, Capital)

- Small better Judgement-Capability * Huge Leverage (labor, capital) = Huge Impact on the Business Performance

- Leverage magnifies everything.

- Do what you Love so you Become the best at what you do (thus, you develop the best judgement) + use Leverage -- Make a Huge Impact !

The 3 Kinds of Leverage:
β€’ Labor -- People that follow you (e.g./ Employees of your business)
β€’ Capital -- Money you can allocate (e.g./ Investment Ventures)
β€’ Products with no marginal cost of replication -- Code (e.g./ develop an app) & Media (e.g./ create a youtube channel)
β€’ * This is permissionless! -- That's why we are in the age of Leverage!

- No one can compete with you on being you!
